    Can i just say, i remember when ur channel was steadily rising at 30k just before covid hit. Since then, however, YOU'VE TRIPLED IN SIZE! Funny to see what quarantine can do, well done man.
    Btw, love the comparison!

    So David, the way you hold it at 7:40, is that why one tripod leg looks different than the other two? do you think they intended to give it a bit more grip for selfie/vlog use?

    Hey David,
    I purchased the Joby Ballhead 5K that you had linked, but the threading underneath that is supposed to attach to the PolarPro Apex is only the standard 1/4-20” universal screw. The PolarPro Apex Base is a larger 3/8” thread. Can you recommend a mount that will connect the two?

    • @DavidManningvlog
      @DavidManningvlog  2 года назад +1

      There's an inner thread in the ballhead that comes out to reveal the full 3/8 inch. Use a flat head screwdriver and the 1/4 piece will unscrew👍

    Knackered gorillapods make great tablet stands 😀 Mine's still serviceable, but that's the main use it gets put to on my desk these days. Surprised you didn't take the head of your old GP and use that with the Apex, then you could have returned the other one. Looking forward to the revamp. Keep up the great work.

  • @nelsonbustamante8756
    @nelsonbustamante8756 4 года назад +2

    The biggest drawback with the apex is how you have to twist the lock on 3 legs to get it set up. It’s cumbersome and time consuming.

  • @roknboker

    We've been using the switch pod pro and really love it. The legs are stuck at one angle on it though of course, so you don't have the versatility that something like this would have.

    • @DavidManningvlog
      @DavidManningvlog  3 года назад

      Yeah, the Joby is super clever, but I really prefer a sturdy rig now. Something that I can grab and go and just know that it's not going to bend or fall over. Stoked on the Apex!

    Mavic Air 2 finally making its way into the channel :D Btw, that’s a super sick setup with the APEX and I might consider doing that and adding my 5K gorilla pod head, was wondering tho do you think overtime holding the APEX one handed like that will make the screw/joint loose over time?

    I have so many comments. First, I look forward to you getting back to action/travel/daily vlogging. Second, there is no such thing as too many tripods. That polar pro looks dope. I cannot wait to hear how this new rig works for you. Finally, it is not "anal", but "particular". :)

  • @AdventuresInOhioandBeyond

    One word: Switchpod. I ditched my Joby last year in favor of the Switchpod. I put a ballhead on it with an arca swiss base. Huge upgrade. Joby has been collecting dust ever since.

  • @realMDizzy
    @realMDizzy 4 года назад +1

    Meh, deployment on those legs looks cumbersome. Wish they had a one button solution or a press of a button vs screw. Having to unscrew 3 knobs reposition then tighten 3 knobs just to find out you're a little off balance then you have to screw/unscrew more knobs. Writing that sentence was already tiring, now imagine doing that multiple times per shoot!

  • @weroo5455

    • @neilford5262
      @neilford5262 4 года назад

      Personally I'd get the version without and then get a separate head. There a number of really great ones from Neewer, K&F Concepts, SMALLRIG, etc. Build the exact tripod you want that way.

      Nah, just buy something like this; www.amazon.com/Neewer-Rotating-Panoramic-Camcorder-kilograms/dp/B071JWMS5J/ - $30 on Amazon. Got one to replace the proprietary head on my GP, woks a treat. Even does the 360 degree rotation thing, just doesn't have the marking. Suspect you could find a version that does.

    I just don't know why you creative cats can't just use a GoPro. Seriously. On an intellectual level I sometimes wonder if you vloggers people aren't using a giant SLR you're not taken seriously? Much like if you use only a cell phone to take photos you're not a photographer. Which of course is bs, on both accounts.
